ijeffApple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation
Grammaton ClericYeah, but Android doesn’t make me constantly enter my password to do basic things. Also, Apple takes away a lot of control from their consumers.
I’ll take the phone that isn’t dumbed down tyvm
Ideally you shouldn’t have to compromise. GrapheneOS without Google is an option.
520It literally isn't - Graphene only supports Google Pixel phones.
TrickDacyYou’ve apparently missed the point. Graphene exists solely to harden security and privacy by disabling the googly parts of the phone. That is clearly what was meant by “without Google”
BaroqueInMindYou can do that without Graphene though
Possibly linuxGraphene is is way over hyped. You can basically the same thing with lineage os. The key is just not using gsf
Unlocked bootloader is considered a vulnerability tho
But if your threats model is toxic Tim, satya and sundae, it will dontje job
You can relock the bootloader though can’t you?
Genuine question. I used to be an avid Roamer back int day until I got really really annoyed at all the hoops I had to jump through to use Google Wallet.
Now I have a Pixel 7a and I’m considering ROMs again. So I am wondering if I can just relock the bootloader once I find a ROM I like and it’ll pass all the Safety net bullshit and allow me to use my phone like it should be, just with a custom ROM on it.
most phones nowadays don’t support relocking the bootloader, they will brick
pixel does support it still
Thanks for this info
Graphene and calyx would work for you
